My friend Daniel has been asking me to watch this movie for the longest time. As far as I can gather, it’s about a boy who is a complete jerk to his poor self-sacrificing grandmother who goes through great lengths to make him happy. Because of that, I can’t watch this. I don’t want to go around choking little kids after watching such a horrific movie, so I won’t. I hear it’s good though. Very good in fact. Won awards and that. But sad. I don’t do sad. It makes me depressed and I have to sit around all day taking pills and staring into those bright lamps that depressed people have. You know, the ones that cost a lot of money and don’t really do anything, don’t even give you a mild tan. Those ones.

Luckily, the movie ends all happy like. I guess the DVD cover does kind of give it away. The kid is kind of cute as well. Another reason why I can’t watch it. The last thing you want to do is hate a cute kid. At least with ugly ones you can’t really help it.

ANYHOO, this movie stars Kim Eul-boon as the Grandmother and Yu Seung-ho as Sang-woo, the wee kid. The kid is your regular child actor, but the grandmother is something else! In real life, she is actually a non-actress who has never even watched a movie in her entire life. Pretty crazy eh? She was handpicked by the director after they reached the little rural village they were shooting in and saw her walking past them by chance. The director thought she was perfect, and when the movie was released she had to move out of her house in the tiny village (where they shot the movie) she spent her entire life in so she could escape from all the adoring fans that tracked her down. Her granddaughter said she really didn’t care for all that attention. I hope she at least made some good money out of it though!!

So, I guess I will watch it, eventually. Coz that’s kinda cool. THE END!! -by Hobbes-

Hihi! Because of the popularity of this movie and the number of searches I’m getting for it on this site, I thought I would post up another link from a different video sharing service in case the Tudou one doesn’t work/is too slow/gets deleted/insert fing here/etc.

Hope you likes and such!

I dunnae aboot you lot doncherknow, but I happen to think that albeit the lackness of continuationism to “My Tutor Friend” the first, this one’s pretty good on it’s own! The boy’s character really grows on you quite a bit and the girl isn’t as annoying as you would imagine a ditzy kawaii type to be. Tis all good and fun I’ld wager, true dat true dat.

A couple of the themes repeat themselves in the movie, but overall, a lot of things in it don’t happen the way you assume a predictable movie’s movie scene would happen. I said movie three times in the one sentence. That’s awfulness :S

You know that first Korean guy that she falls madly in love with, the hot one wif the hair. That kind of looks almost Japanese even. He is sexiness in pants. The End. Come watch! You will like it ever so muchly!

• Starring: Park Ki-Woong, Lee Cheong-Ah
• Description: A Japanese girl, Junko (Lee Cheong Ah) travels to Seoul as an exchange student in the hopes of seeing a Korean student she fell in love with while he was in Japan on exchange.The guesthouse she’s staying at is full of rowdy young guys, including the owner’s grating son Jong Man (Park Ki Woong) who also happens to be her Korean tutor. This disagreeable tutor, however, is a lot more interested in teaching her inappropriate words than conjugation.The two initially spend all their time fuming and feuding, but Junko slowly discovers there’s more to Jong Man under his insensitive exterior.

Tis goods I tells ya! Come Watch It Here me harties ARRR…gh.

I absolutely love this movie!! It was the very, very first Korean movie I had ever seen in my life back in 2003 and the only reason why I started watching other Korean movies. I mean imagine if I had started out watching Oldboy. I don’t think I would have been that keen to watch anything else after that It’s a fantastic movie just makes me a feel a bit… vomitty… Ooh that’s a good word to remember.

SO! “My Tutor Friend”, was based on an online story, just like My Sassy Girl and is the work of then first time director Kim Kyeong-Hyeong. In fact, when it was released in 2003, it was supposed to be the sequel to My Sassy Girl. The world “sequel” being used loosely by the Korean movie industry as a whole I suppose, going by the fact that both movies aren’t connected in anyway character wise, the same way My Tutor Friend has nothing to do with My Tutor Friend 2, and The Vengeance Trilogy aren’t related. I guess there is a sort of similaritiness (you know I use so many made up words sometimes I really don’t remember if they’re real anymore… I doubt that one is x_X) between the movies in that they’re both romantic comedies, there’s a boy and a girl, and someone is always being mean to someone else. In this case, the girl isn’t a scary psycho and the guy is the meanie.

This movie is unbelievably cute, and very Korean!! A lot of “you want to die?!” and glaring and sneering and beautiful people with amazing bodies (omg Kwon Sang Woo I fangirl you ^^) as well as the trademark Korean playing-with-time-and-space-continuum thing. I dunno aboot you, but I totally highly recommend this shiat
